 We passed on witain She rOTt Al She door of the 1fss room were two h. dian women seated on shl hocr piay- inR cards. Our civilization has taught them this. They ceased their same ss We csns up, snd smiled at sno parsy |. The soldier with us could not IntNfyTei, so our conversation Wss limited Co lew siens.

Within the room on s bed were seated little boy and girl, Iso- bering away for all they were worth, who ouite scorned all our efforts to attract them to US.

 We had been told that Hatchez wGs more hsughty than al tue others, bus l think we caught him on his red-letteT day be vss so polite. He is the n1est looking ot any of tho chiefs, sni his face is more honest. Geronimo has C blander smile. but would reveT inspire confidence. Na.chea's hands and feet are very small.
